Application fled April 23, 1925, Serial No. 25,419, and in the Netherlands 1e77, 1924.

.This invention relates to ash trays or bowls having means for extinguishing cigarettes before they are thrown into the bowl. The vapour given ofi by the extinguished 5 cigarette is liable to give oil a sharp odour,

which has an irritating effect on the nerves of the throat and nose and is most unpleasant.- I I Many constructional forms of ash trays have been made, in which various attempts have been made to overcome this difliculty. But all such forms, even those which may be said to answer their purpose, do not have the easily emptied ash bowl.

A For this reason according to the invention the ash bowl itself is placed in a pedestal provided with a double wall, the space between the walls being accessible from above and capable of being filled with'water.

In the accompanying drawing a constructional example of the invention is shown, Fig. 1 being a vertical sectional view taken on a diametrical plane through the receiver;

' and Fig. 2 bein a top view of the receiver.

The ash bow roper consists in this example of a dished part 1 having upwardly directed converging limbs 2, at the meeting point of which is a knob 3, which forms a convenient handle for the ash bowl, both for empt ing thebowl and for placing it in the stan part or pedestal. r

. By means of the openings 4 between the limbs 2 access is easily had to the bowl 1 for throwing ashes, matches and the like 85v into it.

The dished part is preferably made in the shape of a bowl in order that it may not be, ossible to use this part by itself, owing to its inability to stand firmly. For using the dished part, it must be placed in the pedestal 5 which has feet 6.

This pedestal is hollow being made with double walls. a The space between the walls ofthe pedestal is filled with water and is open at the top, an annular space thus being left through which cigarettes and the like may be extinguished. The annular space is made only as wide as is required for this purpose, a very narrow ga that there may e. no tendency on the part of the smoker to use the pedestal as an ash tray. In order to prevent the pedestal,

being quite suflicient, so

into which the bowl 1 is placed, being itself used as an ash tray, which would have the 'disadvantage that water would be spilled The arrangement ofthe parts is such that the rim of the bowl 1 is slightly higherthan the bridges 8, so that a clgar or cigarette laid on them .must rest in an inclined position. A circulation of air can thus be maintained and the cigarette is prevented from being soiled by moisture, which would be the case if it were laid down flat. Thesarne object is attained, but, in a less simple manner,-by providing the bridges with one or more transverse ribs.

The construction of the ash bowl described above is such that the two separate parts cannot be used by themselves and are only useful when combined. The ash bowl itself can be readily emptied and replaced in the pedestal without handling the latter atall,

which only serves the purpose of extinguishmg the cigarettes. The cleaning of the pedestal, which need only be undertaken I from time to time, also involves no difiiculties.

What I claim is:

1. The combination of an ash bowl and pedestal, in which the ash bowl'has a semispherical shape, and the edestal has a similar shaped cavity in w ich the ash bowl fits, and an opening in said cavity extending through the bottom, said pedestal havin a double jacket with arcuateslots on top i8- tween the two jackets, the space between the jackets being adapted to be filled with water.

2. The combination of an ash bowl and a pedestal for same, said pedestal having a cavity in which the ash bowl fits with the upper rim slightly protruding above the pedestal the latter being double-walled, the space between thewalls-being open on top with the exception of a plurality of bridges which are shaped to form rests for the cigars or cigarettes. Dated this 6th day of April, 1925. In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature.
